In biochemistry, a transferase is any one of a class of enzymes that catalyse the transfer of specific functional groups (e.g. a methyl or glycosyl group) from one molecule (called the donor) to another (called the acceptor). [2]

transferase, any one of a class of more than 450 enzymes that catalyze the transfer of various chemical groups (other than hydrogen) from one compound to another. Transaminases, for example, catalyze the transfer of an amino group (―NH 2 ) from an amino acid to an a -keto acid.

2011年3月3日 · Transferases are enzymes that transfer various functional groups to the polar groups of their acceptors, such as glutathione S-transferase, methyltransferase, N-acetyltransferase, sulfotransferase, and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase.

2021年7月1日 · Transferases are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of a functional group from one molecule to another. An example is acyl transferases that catalyze the transfer of acyl groups. An example is the peptidyl transferase. This enzyme transfers an amino acid from the tRNA molecule during the translation of protein biosynthesis. Transferases are ...

Transferases are a class of enzymes that transfer specific functional groups from one molecule (donor) to another (acceptor). Transferases are implicated in hundreds of different biochemical pathways, and are essential to some of most important processes in lives.

Transferases are enzymes that catalyze the conjugation of acceptor substrates to endogenous chemical groups including glucuronide, sulfate, phosphate, acetate, reduced glutathione, amino acids (primarily glycine and glutamine for xenobiotic conjugation) and methyl groups.

The transferase group of enzymes inactivates antibiotics by chemical substitution of the functional group to the periphery of the antibiotic molecule and thus the modified antibiotics are unable to bind to their target sites.

Any enzyme that catalyses the movement of atoms or groups of atoms from one molecule to another. A kinase adds a phosphate group to a substrate such as an amino acid. Collins Dictionary of Medicine © Robert M. Youngson 2004, 2005.

A transferase is any class of compounds that help in the exchange or transfer of functional groups. For example, a methyl or glycosyl group from one atom to another. They are associated with many diverse biochemical pathways and are essential to a …

2024年5月21日 · A transferase is an enzyme which is designed to transfer a functional chemical group from one molecule to a different molecule. Over 450 transferases have been recognized, and researchers are periodically uncovering new ones as they learn more about biology and the complexities of the body.
